Comments like this reveal just how little most people know about libertarians. Libertarians would say I am not buying a heart monitor for my kid because its not necessary. The school should not buy a heart monitor for my kid because thats not necessary and since I pay school taxes its the same as me buying the monitor. If the insurance companies want the data they can offer to pay me for the data and I may or may not have my kid wear the device. Also in a libertarian society people who do not want to give up there data to big business are the norm not the exception. If insurance companies wanted to discount insurance for giving that data thats fine and yes refusal would be fine too but you have to take your scenario to its logical conclusion. If there are a bunch of people being refused insurance then I am going to make a killing offering them insurance. Chances are they won't use it much because they are the paranoid type to begin with.
